AHC interview with Mark Abramowicz
No full textJune 27, 2014Digital recordingMark Abramowicz was born 1934 in Vienna, Austria, the son of socialist physician, who was forced to leave his apartment and give up his practice after Anschluss. The family escaped Vienna with French papers on a train across Germany to Saarbruecken, where they took a taxi to the border and then proceeded to Paris, France. After 6 weeks they took the boat to America, living first with the father's cousin in Syracuse, New York, before moving to New York City. After two years, the father passed his examination for immigrant doctors and the family moved to South Dayton outside of Buffalo, New York, eventually returning to New York City. Mark's father died tragically in an accident in 1943. Mark went to boarding school in Manchester, Vermont, while his mother went to nursing school in Boston, Mass. Marc finished high school in Boston and went to Harvard, where he studied political science, but then went to medical school in St. Louis. He started his career at Boston City Hospital before being drafted to the army. After the war, he kept on working as a physician, teaching and working on a medical journal. He got three children with his second wife.Austrian Heritage Collectio

No full textKazimierz Abramowicz was a Polish mathematician, working in the theory of analytic functions. In 1922 he defended his Ph.D. thesis "On hypergeometric functions with arbitrary amount of seemingly singular points" at the Warsaw University. He published over twenty scientific papers. His life and scientific achievements are described. Three photos of him are included. Paper finishes with a full list of his scientific papers, his talks and list of publications about him.Kazimierz Abramowicz byl polskim matematykiem zajmujacym sie glownie teoria funkcji analitycznych.

Andrzej Abramowicz jako historyk archeologii
No full textThe article analyzes the contribution of Andrzej Abramowicz, one of the most prominent historians of archaeology, to the development of this subdiscipline. Abramowicz, drawing inspiration from Marian Henryk Serejski, broke away from the strictly chronicle-style approach to the history of archaeology, characteristic of his predecessors. His works, such as Wiek archeologii or Historia archeologii polskiej, offer a synthetic account of the history of Polish archaeology, taking into consideration the shifting research paradigms and the socio-political context in which archaeology evolved. The introduction of the article outlines the early interest in the history of archaeology in Poland, serving as an introduction to the main topic of the text, which focuses on Abramowicz’s path to pursuing studies in this field and a characteristic of his most significant achievements.Artykuł analizuje wkład Andrzeja Abramowicza, jednego z najwybitniejszych historyków archeologii, w rozwój tej subdyscypliny. Abramowicz, czerpiąc inspirację od historyka historiografii Mariana Henryka Serejskiego, zerwał ze stricte kronikarskim podejściem do badań nad dziejami archeologii, charakterystycznym dla jego poprzedników. Jego prace, takie jak Wiek archeologii czy Historia archeologii polskiej, oferują syntetyczne ujęcie historii archeologii polskiej, uwzględniające zmieniające się paradygmaty badawcze oraz kontekst społeczno-polityczny, w którym kształtowała się archeologia. Na wstępie artykułu zarysowano początki zainteresowań historią archeologii w Polsce, co stanowi wprowadzenie do głównego tematu tekstu, skupiającego się na drodze Abramowicza do podjęcia studiów w tej dziedzinie oraz charakterystyce jego najważniejszych osiągnięć

Perfecting Patent Prizes
No full textA number of commentators in recent years have suggested permitting holders of intellectual property rights to give up these rights in exchange for cash prizes from the government. In this Article, Professor Abramowicz shows that each of the proposals has significant flaws that would make implementation impractical and argues that no single perfect formula or algorithm for determining the size of prizes exists. A prize system is nonetheless worth pursuing because it could increase social welfare significantly by eliminating deadweight loss. Professor Abramowicz recommends a relatively simple approach that would complement rather than replace the patent system. The proposal is to establish an agency to distribute a fund that would be used to reward corporate efforts to reduce the monopoly effects of patent rights. As long as there is a substantial delay between the activities reducing deadweight loss and the granting of prizes, and as long as the rights to future prizes are tradable, granting of wide agency discretion has significant advantages and few drawbacks. Even assuming the agency is likely to do a poor job of distributing prizes, the system will be efficient if no biases in granting prizes are predictable. After addressing a variety of issues concerning the design of a prize system, Professor Abramowicz offers several potential applications for patent, copyright, an

He defended its principles even in the interwar period, when Poland was dominated by the policy of assimilation of national minorities and relations with Lithuania had the character of a cold war. Thanks to Abramowicz, Przegląd Wileński [Vilnius Review] (1921–1938) became the last bastion of the idea of krajowość, actively popularising it in the public life of the Vilnius Region. Abramowicz unwaveringly defended the idea of the political independence of the Belarusian-Lithuanian Lands and the decision of its future by the representatives of all indigenous nations. Abramowicz’s life and work, his publications in Przegląd Wileński prove that against all political and national-cultural realities, the idea of krajowość as an idea of harmonious coexistence of the nations of the historical Lithuania was popular and found new supporters
